I'm using Spring boot to create a restful api service. Everything works correctly, except that I cannot specify which data to be returned as JSON.
What I want is to get the output without the field "content" ( which in my case is used for storing the object ).
Spring version is 4.2.5
That's why I've defined 3 levels of views ( Internal being the one to be used when getting / setting object in the database, Public is the minimal data to be output to client ):
public class EntityVisibility {
public static class Public { }
public static class Detailed extends Public { }
public static class Internal extends Detailed { }
}
My controller:
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/photos")
public class PhotoController extends BaseController {
@JsonView(EntityVisibility.Public.class)
@RequestMapping(value="/load", method= RequestMethod.GET)
public Response<Photo> loadFromUrl(@RequestParam("url") String urlAddress) {
Photo photo = ...; // create photo object
return new Response<>(photo);
}
}
To me, it looks that @JsonView(EntityVisibility.Public.class)
is now working.
Response class (only relevant parts):
@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
public class Response<T> {
private T result;
public Response(T response) {
result = response;
}
}
My Photo class (relevant parts):
public class Photo extends Entity {
@JsonIgnore
protected byte[] content;
@JsonView(EntityVisibility.Public.class)
private Date modified;
@JsonProperty("content")
@JsonView(EntityVisibility.Internal.class)
public void setB64content(String b64content) {
this.content = (b64content == null) ? null : Base64.decode(b64content.getBytes());
}
public String getB64content() {
try {
return (content.length == 0) ? null : new String(Base64.encode(content), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
return null;
}
}
public byte[] getContent() {
return content;
}
public void setContent(byte[] content) {
this.content = content;
}
}
Entity class (relevant parts):
@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
public class Entity {
}
What I'm getting:
{"success":true,"result":{"mime_type":"image/png","content":"SOME_CONTENT_HERE"}}
Expected result:
{"success":true,"result":{"mime_type":"image/png"}}
Any help is greatly appreciated!
== EDIT ==
I've created new very simple setup, but it's still not working for me:
Method in the @RestController:
@JsonView(EntityVisibility.Public.class)
@RequestMapping(value="/test", method= RequestMethod.GET)
public Response<TestObject> testMethos() {
TestObject testObject = new TestObject();
testObject.setTest1("test1");
testObject.setTest2("test2");
testObject.setTest3("test3");
return new Response<>(testObject);
}
The test class:
public class TestObject {
@JsonView(EntityVisibility.Public.class)
private String test1;
@JsonView(EntityVisibility.Detailed.class)
private String test2;
@JsonView(EntityVisibility.Internal.class)
private String test3;
@JsonIgnore
private String test4;
public String getTest1() {
return test1;
}
public void setTest1(String test1) {
this.test1 = test1;
}
public String getTest2() {
return test2;
}
public void setTest2(String test2) {
this.test2 = test2;
}
public String getTest3() {
return test3;
}
public void setTest3(String test3) {
this.test3 = test3;
}
public String getTest4() {
return test4;
}
public void setTest4(String test4) {
this.test4 = test4;
}
}

And I'm still getting everything ( except for @JsonIgnore
):
{"success":true,"result":{"test1":"test1","test2":"test2","test3":"test3"}}
After comment section discussion with @kkazakov it seems that the problem is in @JsonView
from different Jackson library version:
Turns out, Couchbase library also has Jackson inside. And the package name is completely different. So, I was using @JsonView from couchbase package, and Jackson from Spring.
Old post:
I tested your code and i think it works as intended for me. At least i can't see content and get desired json. The only difference is @JsonView(EntityVisibility.Public.class)
in class Response<T>
, but i think you also have it, because you will be getting empty object otherwise
Here is demo project. Can you test in on your device or point me to different setup.
